Academy City

"Why did you provoke them, my lord?" Xanathar inquired as the First Gaea Council concluded and the kings and ministers departed.

It was decided that every 10 years a Gaea Council would take place. As for the academy, the kingdoms would send an answer after careful deliberation.

"We couldn't allow them to look down on us." Noah replied. 

Knowledge was power and the ones with power ruled.

The knowledge in the library would push the development of Gaea several hundred years into the future. 

Although Noah gave a choice, the kingdoms had no way out but to join the Academy City. Or else they risked falling behind their competitors who develop swiftly after gaining knowledge from the library.

Other preparations were also completed.

Noah had found teachers already. They were vagrants whom Xanathar had saved in the past and Xanathar vouched for them. All of them were using the library to learn until Academy City opened.
